Williams said the decision between the Packers and Saints was put to a family vote.

It was the first time in my coaching career I've ever allowed the family to be a part of all this kind of stuff and our family was looking to get him a little further south, Williams said. That's basically what it came down to.

Williams said the Packers were looking to find a spot for him as well, but not every interested team was.

That was one of the reasons I backed off from Tennessee, Williams said of the Titans, who were also interested in him.

Williams said all nine teams with openings contacted him. And in his evaluation of each possible destination, the Packers ranked No. 1 when it came to young talent on their defense.

From the starters to the reserves, the depth of young talent there was really impressive, Williams said. That was a big mark in their corner.

I'm glad they both turned the Packers down. Dom Capers seems like a better coach to me anyway.

And I find it intriguing that Gregg Williams said what he did about the Packers. It seemed to me like he wanted to come to Green Bay but his family overruled him to the Saints.

Also good to hear Williams saying our D was the most talented of any team who had a DC opening.

On the other hand . . . take that, all you people who are charging Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy with creating an atmosphere that deters viable candidates from coming to Green Bay.
